1. Pay $1 million to each family?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.27.13)
Oh, sure. Let's compensate the families of terrorists who attacked Israeli commandos who were enforcing a fully legal and internationally recognized blockade. We really have gone through the looking glass.
2. Use Armenian example
Dan ,   k"s   (03.27.13)
Pay the Turkish the same they (Turkey) paid each Armenian family.
3. If unemployed in Turkey,what a way to make money..
Ivan ,   South Africa   (03.27.13)
4. Don't do it..
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.27.13)
Compensate for beeing terrorists, brain-twisted by their religion!! Don't do it.!! Hamas pays 25.000$ to the family of terrorists blowing themself up amongst civilians. Then Turkey demands Israel to compensate the families for not to give birth and breeding of 40 more terrorists in each family!! Loss of income!! Don't do it, it will backfire in the future.
5. so now
(03.27.13)
the muslim in chief is practicing EXTORTION as well?
6. Let's kiss Turkey's a**
Robert Haymond ,   Tekoa, Israel   (03.27.13)
We've got the right people in office to do it: Netanyahu who feels good about appeasing Obama and the western world and his accomplice Tzipi Livni. As for the morale of our military not to mention our citizenry, that really doesn't matter (to them).
7. What!?
Aviv ,   Jerusalem   (03.27.13)
NO! Israel shouldn't have to pay for this or any amount. Saying sorry for something we shouldn't be sorry for is enough! Bibi, what the hell?!
8. Surprise, surprise!
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.27.13)
The usual Turkish megolamanic complex! I am sure they will not step down from their demands and if Bibi has enough guts to resist for a change, they will take it as an excuse to stop the "reconciliation" which basically is no more than stepping down from hot war to cold war.
9. Israel will pay whatever they want
Keren IL-BR ,   (Vacation in Rio)   (03.27.13)
This much needed money will go to families of terrorists whose main intention is destroy Israel. Do not think "Humanitarian people" are concerned with life in Gaza. If they did, they would be sendind flotillas to Latakia to help Syrians, being killed by dozens. That said, Israel would not be in this horrible situation if we were dealing with a soverign state. Just give independence to the West Bank and Gaza and treat them harshly if they provoke Israel, as Turkey does in Iraq with the Kurds. The more we keep the occupation, the more we will have to face situations like this. Turkey demanded apology. We gave them. Now they are demanding 10 millions dollars.. Then they will demand the opening of Gaza. And then the end of occupation. Isn't it better for us to take the lead and free us from this burden that is the Palestinians?
10. Ankara needs to get over itself.
Israeli ,   Haifa   (03.27.13)
11. Rescind the offer entirely
Devorah   (03.27.13)
Not a shekel. Otherwise, it will establish a precedent that will blow up in Israel's face.
12. Its about time to say to Erdogan
A ,   Belgium   (03.27.13)
take your damn apology and stuff it in your...turkey.
13. Yezz, do it !!
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.27.13)
This payment must be the result of pressure from mr obama. (sunni or shia, dont know!). BUT: 1.As a reward, the USAF and USNAVY will bomb the iranians back to the stoneage. 2. As a reward: Move the PALS from the strip into Jordan., and HAMAS will again be transported to Tripoli. 3. As a reward: US will remove the mosk from Jerusalem., and fund the new temple on the site.
14. there was the well meant apology instead of expressing regre
joe ,   haifa   (03.27.13)
and there i was with erdogan,but now he has become overconfident and bluffing poker player......In no way letting him pull the strings now:you will get a symbolic gesture for the families and no more than that.There were enough warnings to the victims that their mission was dangerous.Israel is not the lifeinsurance company..........
15. GREEDY
Sam Sweiry ,   Eastbourne UK   (03.27.13)
What Israel have to pay for Peace is a Very High Price - not only with money but with Jewish lives too - Turkey Islamic Government want Israel to pay heavy price for Peace - Would that be the end or just the beginning????... Time will tell
16. The Demands Will Never End
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (03.27.13)
Turkey will keep making demands. It will be money, later about this or that and the demands will never end. This is the pattern of Israel's enemies. Erdogan acts like Abbas and others who take Israel's generosity of spirit for weakness. This is the hubris of Israel's enemies and their downfall.
17. So i can break in your house and you
Moses Mafora ,   Johannesburg   (03.27.13)
shoot me self defence then i pay your family $1m. who send them?
18. Time for Apology -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.27.13)
- to the Israeli People !. The Israeli PM should Apologize to His own People for His Misbehavior/Missjudgement regarding this affair - http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4360928,00.html - and tell Turkey to pay for their own Missdeads. If this doesnt fit Turkeys Erdogan, tell Him to go to . !. Arn.Sweden.
19. no luck
anton ,   istanbul   (03.27.13)

20. NOT ONE CENT FOR THOSE MORONS !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.27.13)
TURKEY SHOULD COMPENSATE ISRAEL !
21. anton, they will give turkey the yabanci price
american american ,   istanbul, turkey   (03.27.13)
and try to 'turk' them
22. Turkey goverment is responsible,they should pay
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome   (03.27.13)
Turkey give the boat the approval for a direct attak to another Nation;this time was Israel,next time will be greece or a European nation... Turkey goverment has the duty to pay;and pay all Armenians killed by Turkish goverment too;before then,nothing
23. Why Netanyahu must resign
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (03.27.13)
Fact: Erdogan is a member of the muslim-supremacist Brotherhood, that considers Jews and Christians inferior. Fact: Erdogan started disengaging from Israel long before the Mavi Marmara. Fact: the IHH attack on Shayetet was preplanned and well-organized with help from Erdogan's regime. Fact: the IHH started the violence by disembowling the first IDF commando: they slit his stomach and pulled out his intestines. Netanyahu's apology to Erdogan humiliates Israel and the IDF, and gains nothing but weakening Israel and strengthening Jihad. It is said to say, but Netanyahu has become old and feeble: he should resign. The only mistake is that the IDF takeover was not violent enough. After the IHH replused the first IDF (boat) assault, IDF should have responded with water hoses, gas, attack dogs, snipers and YSM. To put it in proportion: if the USMC had boarded the boat and met violent resistance, every single IHH member would be dead, and Turkey would pay reparations.
24. $1M per capped Turk fanatic?
Cameron ,   USA   (03.27.13)
Obama sure got his revenge on Net it would seem.
25. turkish bazaar of the absurd
marcel   (03.27.13)
israel is paying turkey for defending its own soldiers for empty geopolitical reasons as islamic party is in bed with thamas and hezbollah and erdogan is a born liar through and through who runs to nato for patriots because he cannot stand up to assad. Incidently regardless of assad'sbutchery, he has more guts in one finger than bibi has who is yellow to the bone, I am not miincing words,just yellow to the bone. Guided by livni who is plain naive or stupid if you like, bibi has reduced israeli sovereignty. Now a predictable debate over how much per person and erdogan has aslo placed a veto on relations depending on gaza. So what bibi did harmed israel and if he could not look eye to eye with obama and say no then he should as I advised to step down in the next 6 months as he is finished in my book. What israel ought to tell turkey is to go to bloody hell and wait for its army to throw out this rotten governement of liars.
26. Israel must pay NOTHING!
Keren ,   IL-BR   (03.27.13)
The only parameter Israel must have in its actions is the parameter of coherence and truth. That flotilla aim was to provoque Israel;the soldiers were brutally attacked so why in this earth Israel is going to pay something? Please,NO NOT PAY because Israel did not do anything wrong -quite opposite-Israel did wrong for letting its soldiers go un- protected into that boat. If there are ones who deserve compensation,these are Israeli soldiers and only them. PS-#9 obviously is not written by me nor is the huge amount spanned by this impostor in last days. Ynet should control that because it seems dishonest to let it happen.
27. Pay each family $4.21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.27.13)
That's about what a dead terrorist is worth. I'll pony up the funds.
28. a joke
Atilla ,   izmir   (03.27.13)
Little jewish boy runs up to his father and says "Dad, can I have 50 dollars?" what. 40 dollars? why do you need 30 dollars when $20 is enough, here's $10 give 5 to your brother and make them last the whole week you got me?
29. The billboard
MR   (03.27.13)
Look at the picture on the billboard. What a cheap and hateful Photoshop work.
30. Nobel Prize for islamism
Vadim ,   Russia   (03.27.13)
The Turkish rulers, old friends of the Nazis and current Islamo-Fascists, want a Nobel prize amount of money for their fascism. Double greed: demanding a reward for terror + not simply a reward but nobel prize reward.
